Too Adorable Not To Share!

Okay, so as you may have noticed, we have two Saint Bernards, Magnolia (AKA Maggie) and Blossom (hence the name, Magnolia Blossom Art) who are our mid life crisis children and we treat them accordingly! They are so funny and loving, in their own special ways. We got Maggie first, a sweet smooth coat (short hair) gal with a gorgeous head and perfect mask. A year or so later we decided to get another girl and named her Blossom. She is a large, big boned, rough coat (long hair) with a large head which has no mask. How do you tell a 145 pound dog her spot is on the floor when she thinks she's a lap dog!! She can't quite understand why her whole body won't fit in our recliners with us, but she gives it a good effort!! Oh, I could go on and on ... anyway ... we got them from Wanda Pevahouse in Jackson, TN. Wanda and I have developed a great long distance friendship over the past couple of years and we keep in touch about dogs and grandkids via email. Wanda sent me pictures the other night of her new litter and I just couldn't resit sharing them ... they are just adorable!! I told her I wish I had a farm I could fill with Saints .. they are a great breed of dog. Wanda has beautiful dogs, with great pedigrees and most importantly, it's evident how much she loves and cares for them. Saints are a large, sweet, kind gentle breed of dogs ... I just love them so much!!By The Way ... the Papa of this litter is the same dog pictured on Wanda's button to her website ... Papa Louie ... Maggie's Papa as well. Blossom is from Banker, another great dog of Wanda's ... you can see pics of him on her website :-)

About Me

I spend much of my time creating all types of art. My biggest pleasure is spending time with my husband. We have five grandsons all living locally so we are blessed to see them often. My husband and I love playing with our "kids" Magnolia, aka "Maggie" and Blossom ... our two Saint Bernards. I named my art business after them, I feel their playful personalities fit my variety of art in the sense that there's always something new on the horizon. Check out Peva's Saints link below.
